The APL Consultants Group - A New Force for APL
The APL Consultants Group is a collective venture of professionals working as consultants using the APL programming language and other related array-based programming languages such as J and K.
It brings together a wealth of IT development, support and training experience adding up to several hundred man-years. Membership ranges from individual consultants through to international companies. Its geographic emphasis is global.
Services available through the APL Consultants Group include...
- Custom application design and development.
- Staff training, both in-house, locally, and supported self-study.
- Technical appraisal of existing applications and deployment of APL.
- Modernisation and customisation of legacy applications.
- Advice and implementation of best-practices.
- A technical website where technicalities are discussed in depth.
- Advice on supporting existing application.
- Assistance with recruiting in-house staff.
The APL Consultants Group is neither a consultancy, nor a recruitment clearing house. It is a focus for APL professionals and a resource which clients wanting to maximise the leverage of rapid application development through mature and academically sound technologies may draw upon.
Above all, the consultants and companies who comprise the APL Consultants Group are independent of any product vendor – their services are targeted at maximising the benefits to their clients.
To find out more about the APL Consultants Group, visit our (nascent) website at www.aplconsultants.org or send email to info@aplconsultants.org. Note that the site refers to us as “The Orchard Group” - a working name that we were using while getting ourselves organised.
Consultants and companies wanting to participate as members, please send email to join@aplconsultants.org.
